In reply to Gizmo,

I went to "www.copscops.com/", and found you on their list. I was looking for info on comp security.I liked your rants page, that's why I stayed. I expected to hear a wide range of opinions on tech stuff, and hopefully learn something new. My expectations have not changed.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 11/20/0302:52 PM

I found UGN on the old hackers.com like back in 1999-2000. I stayed cause of the people back then. There were maybe about 300-400 members when I joined. What I expect from UGN is to learn so much that one day I can take over the world. or maybe I'm jus here cause I'm attached to it too much.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 11/20/0309:17 PM

I did a google search or was it hotbot... anyway search for underground. There she was.. Undergroundnews. Who could resist a site with such a sexy name. I wanted to learn to hack and do cool stuff on the computer. I had no idea how much I would learn and how different it was from my original thoughts. I stay because this place is just as sexy if not more then when I first laid eyes on her.

I was looking for text files on a search engine, and the old KBase was listed there, so I decided to join, read and see what I could learn. And that is the reason I still hang around here. I've not been very active lately, but hopefully that will change.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 05/30/0412:01 PM

i found ugn in a book called "steal this computer book 3". Wanted to learn to stop hackers and spammers from getting into my machine and to get back at them but i have found that i have a lot to learn. I have stayed here because the ops are really helpful and i havn't met anyone here yet that looks down on me for being a newb. I expected to be able to learn how to hack like swordfish in a few months. My expectations have changed greatly. I now know that in order to be good at anything related to programming, hacking, security, scripting, etc. its going to take a lot of practice, hard work, reading, and tutalige ffrom the great people here at ugn.

1. Downloaded this hacking program for my Wizard pocket keeper back in 99, the program was written by Blackbeard an there was a link to the board.2.I came to find out the Truth..3.I found the truth but not always the Right Truth.4.nothing really just knowledge5.In the last 4 years i never went to no fancy school to learn about computers. Now I can build/take apart/destroy, upgrade install,Circumvent Programs,Program(C++,Java, java script, HTML,DHTML,CGI,Visual B, BASIC)Hex,A+ certification.

But sadly in america If u don't have a document that says I graduated from some Fancy ass money stealing school where they teach u no REAL SKILLS. (i can say that cause i have fixed computers for dozens of ppl who went to school for computers)you can't get a Job

Actually, that's the way business works in every part of the world, not just the US. Nobody will hire you because an actual certification proves to a company that you have the skills to do what you claim. I'm sure you could work on computers as well as the next guy, but companies can't just take your word for it.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 10/10/0410:26 PM

I was searching for hacking news on some search engine at school. I came across this site but when I tried to enter it, I was denied. The school's filter spat this at me: "This site is forbidden! It is categorized as Criminal Skills."

Needless to say, this peaked my interest. So I wrote down the site and when I got home checked it out. And I'd have to say it was the forum that kept me here.

I expected to learn a thing or two, and I have. I suppose I could say that this site was my first step into the "underground" world of security and hacking.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 01/30/0509:05 AM

Well I found this website because i was looking for a website that would help me gide myself through the path of hacking and that would keep me updated to the lastest news so i started typing possible names for websites untill i typed undergroundnews.com and it actually came up. I decided to stay because of the news, the KBase files and the forum. The first thing that came to my mind when I got to UGN was that this was the website that i was looking for and that it would help me out alot and that has not changed... thank you UGN for existing... thank you Gizmo for creating it.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 03/04/0501:01 PM

I came across it in like 1998 when blackbeard first started it. I believe he posted on a bunch of different boards and I came across it and have been following it since. The look of the webboard has became much easier on the eyes, the old orange color really sucked. I think a few of you remember that

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 06/21/0512:49 PM

I found a link to it while I was googling for something to do with dos. It lead me here and like many others it was the array of forums that kept me here.I only expected to get the info i wanted at the time and thought I wouldnt ever really make much more use of ugn. BUT the community here is so cool and humourous and the amount of information available is awesome and I expect that will continue.

UGN SECURITY http://www.undergroundnews.comDespite the fact that this site's title is abbreviated and the word 'Security' takes apparent precedence, hacking, cracking, phone phreaking and general mayhem seem to be the order of the day. Including sections on keystroke logging, browsing anonymity, and compendiums on how to make and do all kinds of mischievous things, this site is like Blue Peter for anarchists.

Despite the fact that the only thing connected with security is a virus list (lifted from Trend Micro's site), UGN Security is a pretty helpful resource for programmers and, to some degree, counter-hackers, because discussions on the nature of new hacking techniques are fairly commonplace. In addition, programmers use dedicated sections in the forums to talk amongst themselves and help each other out (although what the programs they write will eventually do is probably of a dubious nature...).

The forums on the site are by far this particular resource's most interesting point, since most hacking sites have either no forums at all, or inactive ones if they're present. For the most part, the forums are interesting and well moderated, even if there are times when they seem to be inundated with small children bragging about how they haxOred their school network and remotely caused every PC in the building to spontaneously combust. Still, if you let kids onto the Net, whaddaya expect?

yey, we're kiddies! hehe... I have a question, how far into the list where we? From what I got via email it looks like #1, but I doubt that's the case with the awkward review...

It's pretty interesting that they say we're into anarchy as we completely dropped the section due to the illegal nature and a few :ahem: threats...

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 06/25/0502:45 AM

That is awsome actually. For the funding available for this place I take that as a pretty damned good review. I find UGN to be the best damned comunity of its king on the entire net. If you have an ounce of common sence you can learn a ton and make pretty good virtual friends.

UGN used to be linked to Blacksun.netblacksun[dot]box[dot]sksites been dead for ages but whenever i used to go there i used to pop into UGN.ultimately, RaVeN and myself had a falling out (just stopped keeping in contact) and UGN found a permanent home on my task bar.

Welp, i just got my copy of PC Extreme; it's a nice magazine though a little overpriced for my liking ($137 currently for a year subscription); I would think about getting a subscription if not for the price, it is a great mag...

I've found the portion that has ugn, i didn't realise they included a screencap as well ...

I do reccommend this magazine to anyone who is looking for something with great content to read; i wasn't too bothered with any mass marketing or advertisements, it's what one would actually *want* from a magazine...

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 03/28/0605:43 AM

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 03/28/0607:32 AM

I found UGN on google, looking for the original anarchy cookbook. I found the essays by jolly roger, really just the whole section, dug it. Stopped by every few months maybe. Sporadically more. But finally I noticed the news, started reading it, then a long time later noticed people could comment, then more time passed and I wanted to post so I created an account. Plus the whole website seemed cool and I felt like it may actually be kinda genuine instead of some lame page by some random person like, theundergroundnetwork.com!!!!!!!!!!!!!I stayed because I found the topics to be interesting, though I really am not in computers at all. I must admit things like programming, hacking, etc. make me want to learn, just cuz it'd be bad ass to do some crazy thing like slip in my music somewhere to be played all over the world and just sit back like a total gangster, or maybe even hook it up to some satellite and beam it into space. That'd be awesome. I stayed for the whole three months(?) because the people seem cool and I feel like I get at least a little of where people here are coming from.I expected by joining UGN security to be able to post messages on news forums, and I did. My expectations have not really changed. I realize there's few times I can actually post something meaningful due to the content but I try to throw in something here and there.

In the USA it is illegal for any male citizen to live in the country without signing up for selective service after their 18th birthday.

Selective Service allows the millitary to "Draft" you to war; you will have to drop every little thing you may be doing, or want to be doing, in your life, to go defend "your country" for a reason that you may or may not agree with; because they told you too.

If you don't, they can legally throw your ass in prison for some stupid bullshit.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 04/05/0602:43 PM

In Sweden (where I live) up to one year ago, EVERY male had to enlist and do 10-15 months of military service whether you wanted to or not.Those refusing to show up where collected by police and spent 6 months in jail.

I have to side with zenon here, honestly. The draft hasn't been imposed in ~35 years, and it doesn't look like it will be anytime soon either. Seriously, having mandatory military duty would be much much worse than being on a list that'll never be used.

But, indeed it has to suck to be enlisted as a soldier in the worlds most power-hungry nation (cough *USA*). Who wouldn't be unhappy with the thought of dying, shot to death by someone, in a far away country, alone in the night, just because the shareholders of some oil-company thinks their stocks are getting to low?That has to suck.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 04/07/0601:07 AM

actually i know quite a few people who are "enlisted as a soldier in the worls most power-hungry nation" and there proud of serving there country, regaurdless of what someone from sweden may think slut.

Re: Where did you hear about UGN Security? - 04/10/0605:18 AM

Sweet shit . Any luck of a donation sometime? I have a DVR project (and others) lined up (specs and all to be published on completion) but I want to attempt to use some semi modern parts that require funding (such as the tv tuner with on card mpeg encoding).

Can't wait to see you; be sure you rent a car as mines out of commission hehe
